Sir, I forward you the declaration of Michael Durinal I am informed a schedule of his property will be forwarded soon I understand that Durinal's case has been formerly before you and disallowed. I am also informed that Timothy Claplin, whose affidavit is among these papers - had a pension allowed him before the late act - being No 7117 or 8119 - he served in the same Company & Regiment with Durinal - but not so long - This claim I suppose must lie by until his schedule is forwarded
